I tried to manually fix it, as I have with others, finding no success. I tried to run OTL, but as I can't open many programs, it will not work. I managed to sneak MBAM and Hijackthis in. MBAM has detected nothing. My Hijackthis log is as follows:

Update: I managed to load taskmgr, identify Antivirus .NET's process and kill it. I tried manually removing the regkeys, files and processes associated with it, but to no avail upon restart. I have the computer open again with the process killed and downloaded OTL. Here are the logs:

Return to OTL, right click in the "Custom Scans/Fixes" window (under the light green bar) and choose Paste.

Click the red Run Fix button.

A fix log in Notepad will appear. Copy the contents of the fix log to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.

Close OTL.exe

If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.

The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.

When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Note)

The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

Note:If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts.Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

It seems like any traces of the virus are gone upon multiple restarts. I have a new minor problem, though. Ever since I ran the OTL fix, the scroll feature on my touchpad isn't working. I don't know if they're related, but if you have any thoughts, I'd appreciate the input. Also, my free trial of Norton AV has long since expired from the purchase of this laptop. I would love if you could tell me how to completely remove it and recommend a free AV prog with real-time protection with which to replace it temporarily until I can buy the full MBAM real-time protection. I would like to purchase it through to site, too, to show support for the help you've provided regarding this problem and previous times. Thanks.
